it is all good, but there is always room for improvement.

It’s just a thought, but there are times, when the best that I can o is just keep on dreaming, believing, praying, knowing that long after I am gone to whatever reward awaits me, there will still be all of those questions, in this place, that still need to be answered. Questions that may or may not have answers, at least in this life.

There will always be the same questions forever. Not the least of which is the whole meaning and purpose of life. In the end, does it all really matter who wins? Who lives and who dies, because when we stop living, we start dying. The rest of it is out of our hands. It’s just a thought.

Well the only thing that I know right now is that it is all getting to the point, with all of the things that are coming out of Washington, that you do not know who or what to believe, and that depending upon your news source, it make it that much more difficult to discern who is lying, who is telling the truth and who is out right making things up. what else is there left to do, to say or to believe. It seems that I am just becoming more and more cynical with the whole process, or maybe I am just being a realist when I say that regardless of what side of the aisle that you are on, or who is sitting in the chair, that they are all little more then a pack of cutthroats and thieves and I doubt that you will be able to find any member of Congress who doesn't have a skeleton or two in there closet. It's just my opinion, but I feel that I just might not be that far from wrong. It's all good.

It’s just a thought, but there are times when I truly believe that this country is being let by a pack of cutthroats and thieves, and I truly do not care what side of the aisle that they are on who is is sitting in the chair, because in the end, the only thing that is happening is that the can is just being kicked further and further down the road as far as the national debt is concerned, and ethics reform and half dozen other things that could be mentioned.

We are slowly turning into a country that feels that they are entitled to everything and that they do not have to earn anything and that everything should be given to them. I am not saying that we do not help the poorest of the poor, but at the same time, we should not be giving it all away with both hands to people that are perfectly capable of working but chose not to, and have managed to get into the system that has all but said flat out that they will be taken care of. I do not think that should be a welfare state.

Am I being to hard? Maybe, but there are times when the only thing that I can do is just vent my frustration of something that I, as an individual can really do nothing about, other then to just spout, and hope that there will be someone who will listen. It’s just a thought.

knowing that all of the things that I have doneall of the things that I will doand all of the things that will go undoneat least by mefeeling that there is always something more that I shoule be doingthinking feelingor trying to understandthat in the whole vastness of what there is still left to accomplishthe best thing that I can do right nowis to just try and get through today without losing what I have left of my mind

wishing to become more then what I know that I will never beand that the best that I can do is just keep on doing all of the things that I need to be doinghoping forpraying aboutneeding to beand still doing the same thing over and over again,in the hope that there will be something newsomething beautifulsomething goodsomething out of the ordinaryit just never seems to be anything more the just what it needs to bewhen I really need to be having the time of my lifeand the world always know the truthand time always wins

Right now it is all good and getting better all of the time, but the only thing that I know right now is that after all is said and done, the only thing that I can do right now is just take one day at a time just like everyone else. What I get done today I get done and the rest will simply have to wait until tomorrow, if tomorrow ever gets get’s here. What else is there left to do.

Hard to believe that we are in December, or almost December, depending upon when and where you are reading this, but ist is all good. Christmas will be here before we know it and the another year will be upon us. It is all good.

It’s just a thought, a thought that I seem to be having more and more of lately but it seems that one of these days, I do not kn ow how, but one of these days I will find myself in Europe. London. Paris. Rome. Doing the things that writers do in those cities, knowing that it will all be true and that I will be no longer dreaming. In the meantime though, the only thing that I can do is just think about it all. It’s all good.

The one thing that I know right now is that the more that I think about all of the things that are going on in Washington right now is that it is all just politics as usual. Who’s lying and who isn’t. I think that I would be more surprised if there was a politician that actually told the truth. Cynical? Maybe. Maybe I am just being a realist.

It’s just a thought, but why is it that the people in Washington continue to printer play money, with no thought to the idea that one of these days, all of this debt is going to have to be repaid, and then we are going to be in trouble. It’s just a thought.

thoughtswords ideasit all runs the same to meknowing that it is always the samethat there is something that we always need to be doingthin king about all of the things that are really importantat least for the moment,but there will always be something that we will be missingwhat else is therewhen we see the world around usand are willing to take it for what it really isand knowing that there is always something that we need to be doing.

Thanksgiving and jazz, that is about all that is going to be happening this week with Thanksgiving coming up before we know it, and before we know it Christmas and new year will be here. Time and the music always continues. It's all good.

Just a few lines this morning to keep it all going in and with the knowledge that one of these days I'm sure that I will have set some sort of a record for having sent the largest number of personally written emails, but at the rate that I'm going right now I think that I'm slowly approaching Hillary Clinton numbers as for is the total number of emails sent which may or may not be a good thing I guess it all depends on how you're looking at it but I don't want this turning into a political discussion.

But speaking of Washington in all that mess I'm just wondering how much more the American public is going to be willing to take before all of this finally explodes and we get back to just run the government and stop wasting money. Well the way things are looking right now I don't see that happening anytime soon and we just find ourselves getting bogged down further and further into political infighting and mountains and mountains of debt.

At the rate things are going there is going to come a time when the piper is going to need to be paid and that the only thing that these bozos in Washington or doing at the moment is just thinking that can further and further down the road.

Sorry didn't mean to turn this into a political discussion but sometimes I just get so frustrated that there's nothing that I can do but to start venting and I guess that's what I needed to do with the moment is just do a little venting but in the end what else is there. There comes a point though when the only thing that I can say is that there are people out there in Washington who talk a good game but when it comes right down to it it's just business as usual regardless of which side of the all you're on. It's all good.

​It's in the end the only reason why I write is because sometimes I find speaking to be just a little too difficult, so I try to write it out instead, it gives me an opportunity to find out what's really on my mind.

It’s just a thought, but there are times when I find myself thinking, almost believing that this just might be all that there is, but I have to remind myself that in all of this, there is something bigger, something better, something that goes beyond the very day need of just survival, and that the rest of it really does matter.

That how we live today, will effect the way that we are tomorrow,and where we will spend the rest of our days, even eternity. The rest of it is out of our hands.

So we take what it is that we are given, and we pray for the rest. It’s just a thought.
